Does jevity 1.5 that i use through my peg tube cleanse the body by getting rid of infections?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Jevity is just food that is made in a liquid form. Liquid foods do not "cleanse the body" and do not "get rid of infections." There isn't anything to eat, drink, or put into a PEG tube to "cleanse the body." The body is self-cleaning, if a person eats and drinks a healthy, balanced diet, avoids harmful habits, and has no disorder that prevents his body from self-cleaning.
